Worst teacher ever
he's crazy
Funny Guy, Terrible Prof. He doesn't even know what is he trying to teach.
Horrible, and should have never became a teacher..
Worst professor I ever had. He threatened the class on numerous occasions, including saying anyone giving him a poor evaluation on the anonymous evaluations will be sorry. He also said that he could match handwriting .
Worst teacher I have ever had. Who gives fill in the blank quizzes every week on a different chapter- without a word bank! Do NOT take him- if you find out you have him- DROP THE CLASS IMMEDIATLEY! YOu litterally feel like you are in hell!
He is the worst prfessor ever, not orgnized....doesnt know what he is doing ? Poor communication and teaching skills...Hard exams...curves the grade and even then noone with an A .. Drop the class if you are taking couse with him immediately. MY GOD.
Simply the worst professor to ever walk on the planet earth. He seems to have some knowledge but fails miserably in people's skill. HE SHOULDNT BE TEACHING. Gives bad image to his department.
He is the worst professor on the planet!!!!
It's true. Good luck understanding him. He may as well speak Chinese. In a class of about 100, 60 students walked out within the first 10 min. of his first day. No joke. He speaks Hindu and has quizzes that require more memory than memorizing pi.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER!!!! Dr. Oolagunju cannot teach. He doesn't deserve the title of professor. He is incoherrent. He DOES NOT RESPECT STUDENTS. He treats students like they are stupid.
If you want a boring class, take his. I go once in a while because you might as well listen to someone speaking a foreign language. He grades on a HUGE curve where 23/60 is a C. If you like horrible boring classes, take his.
Taking a class with this man only makes life worse. He lack of communication skills make you want to get up and leave the class room.
No, you can't understand him, and he doesn't even know how to type using more than one or two fingers....and he is a computer teacher...yeah, that's awesome! Great learning experience with that one!! NOT! Somehow a normal 50% on a test is a B in his class
THIS PROFESSOR IS TERRIFIC! YOU HAVE TO TAKE A COMPREHENSIVE FINAL EXAM --NO MULTIPLE CHOICE, DISCUSSION QUESTIONS AND DEFINITIONS. YOU WILL LEARN HOW TO WRITE TECHNICALLY IN HIS COURSE.
Mark my words all who take CNA courses under this man. You will remember this great philosophical professor only after you start working in the real-world.
This class with this teacher was a waste of my time and money. I've told all of my friends not to take a class with this man because it is pointless and nothing gets accomplished. He is rude and inconsiderate, and I regret taking this course!
Just plain bad. If you can understand him you deserve an A. He also takes a mocking tone when you ask him questions he thinks you should know. Only good thing was a huge grade curve. Don't believe the high ratings.
This prof. is impossible to understand. I never listened during class I just printed off his notes from class and studed on my own. this is a self study course if I have ever seen one. the good thing his grading curve is huge! I should have failed.. A-!
This class sucks! you can't understand a word the guy is saying. He never answers any questions. He changes deadlines numerous times througout the class. He doesn't actually teach us anything, and i would say that this is the worst class that i've taken.
Hard to understand. This course is self taught pretty much. Just learn the technique of printing off lecture notes and just studying those. His curve seems quite large also.
He is by far the worst teacher I have ever had in my entire life. If you need a comp. class, I suggest you find a diff. teacher
I actaully liked him. He is very nice, and means very well, just has a hard time showing it sometimes. Be respectful to him, and he will do the same. All in all decent class. 60% is about a B.
It wasnt as hard as i expected it to be. He was still difficult to understand at times but the class difficulty was reasonable
He doesn't speak very good english and puts everyone to sleep. On multiple occasions students were so outraged by his teaching that they got into yelling fights with him during class!
He thinks he knows everything and won't budge on his grading mistakes even if you show him the right answer in the book. If I didn't skip his class I was either sleeping or talking to the people around me, and I got the 2nd best grade.
Wow, if at all possible, DO NOT TAKE HIM. He is absolutely horrible. His accent covers up any english that he supposedly has, and never ever ever makes sense. His tests are very difficult, but they always have a super huge curve which makes failing really a C....phew. Seriously though, dont take him
The only thing that distracts from his lack of teaching ability is his accent which makes even correct statements confusing.
DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS WITH HIM. He doesn't help out the class at all and lectures are tiresome. The tests and homework are not overly difficult because of the extreme curve he gives, but things can become a pain because he doesn't teach anything besides the terms from the book.
Simple class if you read and show up, however he's the worst prof ever. Can't understand anything. He thinks all the students are stupid. He can't answer questions in class, but in his office hes easy to talk to. Tough but resonable tests and assignments.
worst teacher i've ever had. he is very rude to his students and is incredibly stuck on himself. he DOES NOT explain anything well and a person ends up teaching the material to themselves. he should not be teaching. i've never been so frustrated over a class and a teacher.
Do not take this class with this professor
He is arrogant!Incapable of presenting the material in a clear way.He assn'd opt'l paper,which became required,with a presentation.He gave 1 week notice b4 shuffling the final exam to the week b4 finals to accomodate the presentations,and finally moved presents to READING DAY due to a MEETING! Yuck!
What does listining to jazz have to do with computers?
Actually he gives difficult assignments but you will learn a lot if you go to class.
Worst prof ever. You can't understand a single word that he says. Assignments are quite hard and he doens't explain it well at all. Tests he only gives you like 5 min to take them so you are very rushed. I did not learn a thing from him, I had to learn it myself. Don't take this class with this prof
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS! He is very hard to understand, his assignments are extremely unclear, he is hard to get a along with, plus the only reason I go to class is to get credit for attendance. ( Just so you know I'm getting an A in there, so I'm not just complaining because I'm getting a bad grade)
This professor curves the grades and he is interested in students' learning. I am not sure these are some of the best SCSU students rating him. This course is demanding and challenging, but so what?
I honestly was scared based on what I heard about this professor. I worked hard in his class and I just got my grade --I couldn't believe that he was actually going to curve the grades.
I cannot believe it that I am now online to rate Dr. O. after all the struggles. Now that I have earned my "A" working hard on FIVE projects, I feel relieved!!! In his class you will develop a web site that contains your resume, work with Excel, Access etc. The pain is worth it!!!
Horrible for this class He knew his math but not general network security He taught it as horrible encryption course rather then the applied network security that it was
He is hard to understand alot of the time; his directions are unclear for assignments! He makes a point to brag about his website, which no one is interested in. He babbles about topics and strays from material required to complete the homework. The main problem is that his instructions are unclearly stated.
this class is a nightmare! avoid at all costs!
AWFUL,UNBEARABLE,WASTE OF TIME AND MONEY!!! I apologize, but he speaks awful english, laughs at jokes you cant even understand and has no clue what is going on around him. He gets mean too if he thinks your asking a dumb question or thinks he made it clear. Avoid being in his classes and if you get stuck...drop out ASAP!!!
Difficlut accent to understand. Didn't teach computer programs very well at all.
He is the worst prof i have EVER had! I learned nothing about computers in this class. He is very unapproachable and seems to make up new class rules fitting his mood that day. Also test questions don't make sence because he doesn't know proper ENGLISH. Do Not take his class!
this guy is a joke, bad english, never prepared, doesnt explain stuff well, i recommened this to those who have a high level of patients, test and projects are easy. but he is a loser doesnt teach well, dresses very revenge of the nerds like....
If you have him for a prof...GET OUT NOW! He's the worst teacher I've EVER had and it was the biggest waste of time & money. Don't try asking him a question because it's like talking to a brick wall. I urge anyone who has him to just kick em to the curb.
By far the worst professor on campus. You all remember Hitler? Well take Hitler, make him harder to understand, and change the whole killing of the innocent to degrading his students and expecting you to know how to do everything on your own. Oh and instead of "Hail Hitler" get used to "Whether or not you believe it."
AWFUL PROF!! HATED HIM! YOU CAN'T UNDERSTAND ANYTHING HE SAYS. HE DOESN'T HELP YOU AT ALL WITH HIS ASSIGNMENT AND HIS ASSIGNMENTS ARE VERY VERY UNCLEAR, OVER HALF MY CLASS DROPPED IT OR QUIT GOING TO CLASS
well waht do i say. most ppl know who is he and how is his teaching skill.so no need to explane more haha. but for me he is OK prof. do assignments and LABs on time .. do ur best in exams . u dont need to care about ur grades , he will take care of u ..
i could never understand anything he said! he doesnt explain anything and is very unhelpful.. he will never answer any questions
this guy is funny and he dont even know it. just the way he talks and acts is so funny. hes so old fashioned. this class is so easy its not even funny. he gives you everything you need for test time. and if you have ever sat down at a computer then you can pass this class. do labs ontime and the rest is cake. no cummulative final
"you wont believe it but" he cant teach. he hardly undrstands what hes trying to explain. he repeats EVERYTHING over and over. the class; homework and tests are super easy. hes just really hard to understand and his notes arent any better. but an easy B for sure.
DO NOT TAKE THIS PROF!!!!!!!! he is really hard to understand. the assignments are pretty easy and the tests are not bad but he cannot teach. attendance counts toward grade, and if not for that i wouldnt have gone to class... i probably would have understood more if i hadnt. very frustrating!!
He was not a good teacher
Easily the worst professor I've ever had, If you have to take CNA, take someone else. Trust me.
WORST PROFESSOR EVER! NeVeR TAKE HIM! HE IS A MEAN CRUEL CRUEL MAN! HE SHOULD NoT BE ALLOWED TO TEACH!
This professor emphasizes that he is interested in producing students who become self-learners. If you are lazy and looking for easy grade without learning do not take this class.
This class is for computer wizards that want an easy A. This goes over basic computer stuff and is quite boring. The quizzes aren't as esasy as you think. The prof is fair but not very clear. He will be nice to you if you respect him too.
This professor was not fair and did not care why you missed class at all. He would take away points if you were sick or whatever reason. His quizzes and tests were terrible and very boring classes. I would not recommend this professor at all, and I wouldn't take a class with him again.
WORST PROFESSOR IVE EVER HAD!! CAN NOT UNDERSTAND ANYTHING HE SAYS...HE QUIZES THE CLASS DAILY ON STUFF WE HAVE NOT LEARNED YET AND THEN GETS ANGRY AT US FOR TAKING TO LONG TO ANSWER...WASTES THE WHOLE CLASS PERIOD. QUIZES AND EXAMS ARE EASY IF YOU DONT LISTEN TO HIM AND JUST STUDY FROM THE BOOK
Easily the most worthless prof I've had. You can't understand anything he's saying and when you ask him to clarify he says "I'm not going to waste time" and couild care less if you understand. His assignments are very unclear and his directions are worthless. His tests and quizes aren't too hard but don't count on understanding a word he's saying.
worst professor i've had so far. can barely understand his accent. assignments are very unclear. not helpful when you need help. very rude. very impatient. tests are easy, they're straight from the book. takes attendance. last time i checked i was in college, not high school.
First off, i would recomend having a translator to anyone who plans on taking this class because you are not going to understand one word he says. He is by far the worst teacher i've ever had. I almost need to be enrolled in anger management after taking a class with this professor. you will hate him after the first day for sure. DONT TAKE HIM!!!!!
SO BAD!!!! DO NOT TAKE THIS CLASS. you cant understand him and he is the worst teacher i have ever had. i would most definitely recommend that you get out of it as soon as possible. not only is it boring but its stupid because he doesn't even answer your questions when you see him in his office...so STAY AWAY
Oh. My. God. Professor Olagunju is the worst professor I have ever had. I'm not exaggerating and I'm not being a poor sport, he is completely awful and you should do all you can to avoid taking a class of his. He is completely incomprehensible and not helpful whatsoever. Do. Not. Take. Him.
This prof. is horrible! He will not listen or help you. He will walk away from you in the middle of a question-when he takes them.He was rude to every person in the class. He stated he doesn't care about your grades! When you go to his office he makes you feel completely stupid! DO NOT TAKE A CLASS WITH THIS PROF! YOU WILL BE SORRY!!
WORST TEACHER EVER! Can't understad him, will not answer questions, extremely frustrating, is not clear of the objective of going to this class-learned nothing, very rude, I'm not sure how he was hired to SCSU?? me and my friends used this time as extra nap or play games on laptop time!!!
Professor Olagunju is very demanding. He always says that "he cannot teach you anything, but he can help you to discover your ability if you allow him." You will be able to think outside the box if take him. Don't take him if you are lazy and looking for an easy grade
Prof. Amos Olagunju is an absolute FAILURE as a teacher! He is difficult to understand and is VERY unclear about his "Lab Assignments" given out at the beginning of the semester! DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASSES!!!
TERRIBLE TEACHER!!! If you have any sense you will not take this class. If you want an F this is the class for you! Lab assignments.. if you want help.. don't bother to ask, he'll walk away.
This Professor has a very strong Accent. very hard to understand what he asks from the class. all labs and test are very confuseing. if i could start over i would not take his class. it is pointless class to take. most people in class do not pay attention. He is just not a god teacher. he will never anwser your questions or help u in any way.
He is a very bad Prof. Before he would hand out papers he had to show them over the projector...he ended up making fun of every paper and selecting students and telling them they can't write (while the class was laughing at them). He is a very bad teacher do not EVER take a class with him.
Common, this is a nice professor who is interested in students' learning how to write technically. If you are not interested in learning, that is your problem. He told us that the majority of students would like to be better write upon graduation.
Dr. O is very knowledgeable. He cares about students learning. He provides study guides for tests and quizzes. The class is not good for lazy students because he gives a lot of tests and assignments
This is very intresting... Why is this guy so slow? I'm not going to waste my time. The only good thing about this class is that time flys like an arrow..
Strong accent, bad teaching skills, hard to understand, doesn't know what he is trying to teach. (agreed). However I think ... people are too reluctant when they go to school. If you work hard and keep asking him questions about your problems (outside class).. you can get a good grade. However if you think college is a cake walk..think again.
This professor was very demanding. Too many assignments and quizzes. He expects students to write technically even though this was not an English course. I really worked for my grade in the course. He needs to tone down his expectations from undergraduate students. I think he should be teaching graduate students only!!!
This professor cares about learning ut gives too many assignments
This is the worst professor you can take for any courses! He is not clear on what he want from the students. His syllabus states one thing and he then state another. If you want to be rob from your work, then you should consider taking him. CNA only has certain professor for certain courses. So you are most likely to have him. HORRIBLE PROFESSOR!
This is the most awful, extremely arrogant professor. He does not know what he is teaching but expects a lot from students, does not answer your questions, actually he is extremely stupid. He refuses to help you in any way so don't even bother going to him. Gives too many projects and tries to humiliate students by comparing projects.PLZ AVOID
Hard-working students should definitely take this professor. I know other students who made A- and A in the course and we agree that he is a stellar scholar. This is a 400-level course that some of the students were not prepared to take. If you dislike term and programming projects, don't take this course. Take his classes for new challenges.
Too many group projects in one semester, otherwise the Professor is okay. There were a few students in the course with bad attitude.
If you study the questions at the end of each chapter, you can easily get an 'A'. He curves the grades, otherwise many students will flunk the course. You deal with real world problems in the course
Horrible professor i had in my entire life,he does not know how to teach but expects a lot from you. He is stupid, refuses to answer questions because he does not know the answer. Notice all the good rating have a pattern stop giving yourself good reviews Dr. A you don't deserve it
WORST PROFESSOR I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE! Will do one explanation(while changing and correcting himself) then he'll second guess himself and change the whole problem, also write different numbers than he says aloud. He refuses to repeat, go over a subject a second time or answer any questions. Calls students incompetent.
Worst professor in my whole college career! He will encourage students to ask them questions, and then call them worthless for asking something stupid. He also likes to give tests on chapters we've yet to cover in class.
I hope you reviewed this prior to his class. He's been asked to retire by the university 3 times, 3 formal complaints in my class alone. Has minimal industry experience and is full of himself. Unless you like reading about old tech, from and old book(2003), and expect nothing from the prof, don't take him, petition the college to fire him.
DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. I REPEAT..DO NOT TAKE HIS CLASS. Notice all the good rating have a similar pattern. Stop giving yourself good reviews. :) God! you are so STUPID.
He may be a tough teacher, but he is very knowledgeable and is very good at what he does. Make sure you go to class and take notes then you will be fine.
I went to class for the first day and drop it as soon as I walked out. He clearly do not know how teach. A waste of time, waste of money if you're planning to enroll in this his classes.
As nearly everyone has said hes not very good. And to balance out all the bad reviews he has to give himself multiple 5-5-5 reviews. See 2/3/10 reviews he gave himself--three identical great reivews in one day, while all the other reviews are negative. Wow, what a coincidence! Now what him try to get this review removed.
Famous Amos is still at SCSU???!!! I graduated from SCSU 6 years ago and remember his as the worst professor I ever had. My wife is back in college and came home venting about a terrible Dean and her story reminded me of Amos. Does he still have the saying ?Garbage In, Garbage Out?? That is the ONE thing that he taught me that I found valuable.
Worst teacher ever!!! He is not helpful at all. Yells at you when you don't understand. And pretty sure the few comments on here that actually rated him good sound like he wrote the review for himself. He doesn't even grade his own assignments and says that we cant ask questions about grades we got because he doesn't grade them.
Absolutely horrible! He is not clear on any assignments he gives to his students. If you ask him a question, he will announce it to the class and make you look stupid for asking it in the first place. It's a computer class and he spent a lot of time just trying to get the computer to work. Not worth your time or money.
The worst professor I have ever had. First of all he knows nothing about the courses he is teaching and he expects you to know hoW to do everything without teaching you. Not to mention the fact he is impossible to understand. He says "whether you believe it or not" at least 20 times during his pointless lectures. Stay away!!!!
He is not very nice, if someone has a question sometimes he laughs at them That's rude, your a teacher your supposed to teach us the information.
his website is full of religious blathering and very poorly designed
I have 4.0 gpa and study hard. This instructor is not very clear about deadlines. He doesn't post anything online through D2L. I have a huge problem with the soundbyte quizes he gives at the end of class. They go fast and have lots of info you have to remember and the quiz is directly after it. I'm a person who needs study. Notes dont help 2 fast!
Dr. Olagunju is a very good and qualified professor. Although is class projects may be tough and he's a tough grader, if you approach him for help, he is more than willing.
I looked through all reviews, and the reason he is rated high is because he adds them because no one gives him good reviews. In my class, I think at least 10 people formally complained to the dean about him. He does curve the class, but does it to where 2 out of 50 people get an A. I do not understand how he was hired for this job.Avoid this Class!
WORST PROFESSOR I EVER HAD!!! He is very rude to students, not helpful at all. Gets mad when students ask questions, and make them feel stupid about it. All he says is "take notes" and "whether you believe it or not", its so annoying. I pulled an A by reading the book, I literally taught myself. Test questions come straight out of the book.
He has a really thick accent. He doesn't use D2L and his assignment always confusing. His quiz is nonsense. He also really rude. Drop his class if you can but if it too late just take a lot of note and try to study by yourself. Go on his website for the study guide. And just go to class for an extra credit. But again DROP IT IF YOU CAN!!
Amos is a very fair grader. If you don't know the material, don't expect to get a good grade. If you're on his level knowledge wise, he will help you every step. He has a very good personality and willingness to help. He expects you to figure out problems on your own (Like every ITS CSCI class). If you are willing to learn, you'll be ok!
He is not a good professor. He is mean and rude to student. He likes to belittle them and mock them in front of everyone. I highly recommend that you do not take his class unless you like to sit in his class and have him treat you like a kid. His teaching style is not great either.
This professor is great! I actually became less interested in every subject he talked about. I learned so many things from his class! All of those things were wrong, but, as he said in class, he's way more intelligent than me. I am nervous to leave school because, as he said, I will not be successful in the real world because I can't take him with.
This was one of the worst class I ever took and I really mean it. This was one of the required class for my major and he was only one teaching it. Worst course organization and worst grading practices. I would suggest department to read this reviews and take some actions.
Do not take him. You will sit in class and look at your phone the whole time and he will randomly call and people and make a fool out of them. His class is not that hard just do the homework and you will be fine. All the answers for the quizzes are online. The final is easy if you take the practice exams. Bad prof easy enough class to get a B.
One of the worst professors I had in my life. He does not accept different opinions and he is not aware that technologie has changed since Windows NT. His tests are tough, it is nearly impossible to answer everything right. But he curves the grades. This results in the fact that most of the class will get a decent grade. Avoid if possible!
The big issue is his accent, you cannot understand him therefore you cant take notes. Class is pointless he spends half the time finding files the other half yelling at people to "USE FIREFOX". Quizzes are straight from book MyITlab assignments aren't to bad. Performance exams and the projects haha good luck. Wish I would of read reviews before.
PLEASE, PEOPLE! This professor is horrible. If you put in google "Worst professors Ratemyprofessors" the worst rating is a 1.2 . He is a 1.8. FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, don't take him. There are 90 bad reviews about him. Only 20 are good. He puts people on blast. I thought I had bad teachers until I met this one. You will be BORED TO DEATH!DONT TAKE
CNA 169 shows you ways to use stuff on Microsoft Office like Word, Excel, and Access. We created a webpage which wasn't too bad he just didn't explain what anything meant on a webpage. He is the WORST professor I have ever had here at SCSU! He treats us like grad students and expects us to know EVERYTHING he is teaching us. Tuesdaytest/quiz day.
Easy class if you already know what you are doing. This is a horrible professor, he does not really have any respects to the students at all. His explanation on assignments and some in class quizzes are VERY unclear. His manners to the students is very poor also. Please do yourself a favor and don't pick ANY class with him. Quizzes from textbook.
My least favorite professor here at SCSU. He's very disrespectful towards students, if you have a question he treats you like an idiot. All the homework assignments/test are unclear as to what he's asking. He never talks about anything that's on the tests. Definitely get the book because he's hard to understand.
Avoid this professor!!! This class is kind of a joke, I laugh at how pointless the lectures are and the things he says. It's a flipped classroom so you watch PowerPoints out of class, and he "explains" them in class. How to enjoy the lectures: Count the number of times he says low and behold, and whether you believe it or not.
Probably one of the worst professors I've ever had. Has a very heavy accent, very rude about asking questions. Never admits when he post his quizzes/tests wrong just blames it on students. And him teaching a computer class would make you think he knows how to use them, but nope. DO NOT TAKE.
If you want to learn how to think outside the box and solve real-world problems, this class is for you. If you are lazy and skip classes, this course is not for you.
His quizzes are easy, as is the homework. Performance exams on Word, Excel, and Access are extremely hard and kick you off the question if you make one wrong click. The labs are important, They are broad and he does not explain them at all. Attendance is expected, but not required unless half the class doesn't show up. DO NOT TAKE HIM. Cost me 4.0
The dude sucks! Can't understand a single word he says, I asked him a question in class once and instead of answering it he decideds to make fun of me for "not paying attention" would never take his class again. SCSU needs to fire him ASAP!
Teaching is the wrong profession for Amos. He is rude, hard to understand, and makes fun of any questions you have. Even if you know the information, the tests are set up online so if you accidentally click the wrong tab on Microsoft it counts you wrong. Will never take a class from him again.
I'm three weeks into this class and I can already see it's going to be an awful one. He yelled at me for asking a question, yells at us for sending him emails, isn't willing to help, & didn't even show up to his open office hours. Teaching is the last thing he should do! I've learned more about his personal life and his vacations than material.
He should not be in the teaching profession. He is very hard to understand, inaccessible, and is not clear about what he expects. He is rude and disrespectful to students when you ask questions. Spends a lot of time talking about his business (personal) vacations than he does actually teaching the material. Take another professor.
Great professor, really helps the students, open
Worst professor I have ever had. Very arrogant and rude. If you ask questions he will make fun of you and not help. Lectures are long and boring- he reads the PowerPoint. Hard to understand. Overall not a nice guy. I will not take a class from him ever again.
He is an awful professor, terrible at compromising, unfair grader, does not know material he is teaching. He will not answer questions and will belittle you for asking for clarification. He was the worst professor I have ever had. Do not expect him to answer your e-mails either, he was difficult to get a hold of.
Avoid! Honestly, this class should be called "introduction to the life of Amos." He spends most of the class talking about himself or how much better he is than the students. He's insulting, incompetent, and unavailable. You're going to be teaching yourself the whole way through. So, if you take him good luck, you're going to need it.
Best Professor
I am a 4.0 student and struggling. Not because I don't know the content. -Read the textbook carefully. -Word/Excel/Access stimulations are nearly impossible. -He understands that life happens to him, but not to his students. -NO flexibility -VERY rude, demeaning and harsh grader. -No clear instructions -TAKE A DIFFERENT PROFESSOR!
I have dread this class from the beginning. He is really one of the meanest teachers I have ever met. Does not help at all. Yells at students. Starting up the "outside the box" assignments right now, and he gave little to no assistance at all and says that we should figure it out on our own. I recommend taking CSCI 169 instead of this class w/ Amos
Whether or not you believe it, Amos is the worst professor I've ever had. He cares little for his students, often humiliating them in front of the class for their attempts at his vaguely graded assignments. Weekly quizzes with answers taken verbatim from the Powerpoint. 5/10 is a good score, with most students scoring below that.
So incredibly annoying , he obviously has issues. Even if i never see him again his horrible voice will echo in my mind forever.
Completely disconnected from any and all real life practices of: computing, networking, cybersecurity, etc. Very arrogant and extremely difficult to communicate with. Assignments will never make sense, and you will receive no clarification. No structure, only leveraging other people's work. You will fail everything, and get curved to pass.
He's supposed to be retiring in 2019 so try to take it when he's gone. He makes fun of students and humiliates them in front of the whole class just for asking a question. He gets mad at students if they have technological problems during tests when they aren't the students fault. Very unhelpful. Hasn't graded assignments that were due a month ago.
The class is made up of stimulations, tests, and lab projects. Lectures are ridiculously boring. He is very condescending to his students, and gets very upset if you have computer issues during tests. I would definitely not take him again.
Honestly,hes VERY strict and wants things done his way. Answers for questions, projects etc. Gets irritated easily. Youll have to work hard for your grade thats all Ill say...
Online homework is learning Microsoft Office; lectures/textbook are about computer history and inner workings. Since they didn't overlap, lectures were hard to pay attention to and homework felt arbitrary. Several computer assignments to do on your own that are explained only briefly. Would not have passed without previous knowledge of programming.
Whether or not you believe it, any positive feedback is probably this professor rating himself. Thank God he's retiring.
Grades unknown until the final grades were posted. THANK god this was his last semester teaching. His lectures were almost impossible to understand
Worst teacher I have had in my entire college experience. Does not provide clear feedback about what he takes points off for. Gives rude and condescending comments in in grading feedback on Canvas. Spent over 16 hours per week on homework for a 3 credit hr class. 95% of the homework is tedious busy work that serves no benefit to learning.
He gave us chocolates at the end of the course. The class was full.
